The time has arrived to replace the ten year old spinning rust otherwise known as disk drives on the "root" filesystem of the machine hosting the Foundry and Minkata shards.

Assuming they arrive as scheduled, I will be taking the machine down tomorrow afternoon, Feb 11. Also assuming things go as planned, it should not take more than about an hour and a half.

Minkata and everything associated with it (such as account creation), as well as all services provided by the Foundry, will be unavailable. I also will be unable to receive and send email during that time, but I will keep a Discord session going and give an update if things do not go as expected.
